Beware Baboons

Out for the day with Mell and James we came across a bunch of Baboons having their photos taken. So we pulled the car over and pitched in. Once we were out of the car one of the Baboons started to run over to me and Mell and which point we promptly made for the car leaving Nicky and James. Once we were in the car the 'cheeky monkey' made a jump for the open window which we promptly closed but then to our utter, utter surprise he just slung open the pasenger door and hopped in.... I was sat in the drivers side and I like to think that me and the Baboon had a moment where he and me were sat in there like Bonnie and Clyde. I think he gave me the look that said 'get out of the car, i'm in charge' - I promptly got the hell out of the car and which point he rifled through the CD's but found nothing good.

Actually quite a scary situation really - being hijacked by a Baboon.

Internet + Satelite Tracking + Aeroplanes

So, Mell and James are arriving tonight.

And how about this? I can track their flight directly from my desktop.

The Troops Rolled Into Town

Not sure why..


But managed to get the cool photo in the process.

Langebaan and the flowers

This weekend we went up the west coast to stay in Langebaan. It's a town on a lagoon which is very nice and calm, and it was a really warm weekend - the first for a while now.

This is the time of year that the wild flowers grow and boy, were they growing. There were flowers EVERYWHERE! We went into the West Coast National Park where a whole section is only open in August and September, just for the flowers. Very pretty but after a while it begins to wear you down. I took over 100 photos - needless to say they were all rubbish, but Dave took some great ones...

[Dave] And here they are...

The view from the room in the morning. I like the shite [ed - white] houses and the colours of the landscape behind..


A nice looking but sadly departed star fish.


Some clouds


And to the flowers




And then some amazing sea and waves
